Another thing for the hampers (and the cupboard)

Just occasionally, I see something with a yellow reduced sticker in Tescos that is actually worth buying. Last month it was 4 mangoes at 50p each and thought a-ha - mango chutney.
Ages since I made any, back in the days when Col went to the office in Ipswich and I got a lift to town and the chance to look at proper market stalls where they often had mangoes at 4 for £1. Now they are £1 each or even more.
Straight home and fetched some jars in from the shed to wash and got the ingredients into the preserving pan.
An hour and a bit later and 6 and a half jars were made.

The recipe is on my recipe page. This is a mild fruity recipe to make a contrast when it is served with curry unlike some I've seen which are hotter than the curry. If you wanted it hotter some chilies could be added.

Welcome to Victoria - a new follower but not a new follower! and Greta, there may be someone else too but I'm not sure who. Hello anyway

About Me

We are both Suffolk born and bred and have been married for 38 years, we have 3 grown up children and a new grandson and even newer granddaughter. Colin worked for the County Council for over 30 years and then went self-employed to earn a living on our self sufficient smallholding and campsite. Because of his diagnosis of Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma we had to give up our smallholding in 2015 and lived in Ipswich for a year while Colin had chemotherapy. Unfortunately his treatment didn't work and he is now having a brand new type of drug in the hope of having a donor stem cell transplant later this year. We've now moved to a cottage at the end of a lane in Mid Suffolk where we will enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside for as long as possible.
